The Point is made up of 7th through 12th grade students. Yes, Jr. and Sr. High students all in the same room!
Deuteronomy 6:4-6
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 5 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.
The world would like youth to believe that they aren’t as capable of service to Jesus Christ as adults are. The world says they can’t be trusted to do ministry themselves or make any significant, lasting impact on the world. That anything they do will be just Ultimate Frisbee and pizza – that it will lack any true depth.
We completely disagree
We do not “do youth ministry” at The Point. Instead, our adult leaders are coaches in Christ who help see things in each student they may not see themselves, affirm their identity, and call them into their gifting. The ultimate result is “youth doing ministry.”
And it is spectacular.
Our adult leader commitment:
“To never do for students what they can learn to do for themselves. To never speak for them, but to help them find their voice.”
We walk alongside students in teaching and training and setting healthy boundaries. But like a good coach, we try to stay off the field – it’s their ministry. It’s all about equipping them and teaching them to use the tools in their hands.
Youth from 7th grade through 12th grade meet in a room on the far South side of the building. Parents can drop them off in the South Parking Lot at the sidewalk running along the back side of the Community Life Center. The first door on the left is the entrance to the Youth Room!
What We Do
A typical Wednesday night might involve worship, reading and discussing scripture in our D-groups, teaching & applying, prayer for one another. We also have a lot of fun with games and snacks and general crazy antics! Check the calendar for special events for youth and families!
